Day Four

Weight: 158
This is getting a little old - the dieting. However, I miss exercising. I can't believe that I said that. I guess after all of these years I finally like to exercise. Isn't that weird? I never could have imagined that was possible. I would love to do two hours of exercise. This morning when my alarm went off at 4:55 AM I just couldn't pull myself out of bed and I slept in until 6:30 AM. At that time it was still hard to drag myself out of bed, and I was looking for a way to prolong the time between the sheets with my eyes closed and my consiousness altered to the pleasantries of sweet dreams. But, I got up. Later, I thought of a plan to go to a spin class followed by a pilates class and thought that I had it all worked out, but then that fell through. Now, it is about 8:30 PM and I am seeking to get into that bed and sleep, but after I write this I am going to force myself to do the pilates tape. I got started on the pilates tape (actually a DVD), the other day and I couldn't believe how out of shape I have gotten into after just a several weeks of less exercise and no more stretch yoga classes. Maybe that is why the pounds came on as well. Anyway, the other day I only did a little of the DVD, but I figured that it was better than nothing. So tonight, I plan to get along further into the DVD. Maybe I should attempt to get up in the morning and go into the club. I wanted to sleep in and plan to get there later, but you know what happens with best intentions. If I get up early, then it gets done. Wouldn't it be nice to go back into the club later also, or to go for a nice walk with the dogs in the afternoon?

Now, as far as food, I woke up better motivated to stay on track today, after the disaster from the other day when I ate "bad food" all day. So, when I woke up, I decided not to start off with a piece of cake. The day went pretty well until about 6 PM when I really didn't need to eat anymore, because I wasn't really hungry, but thought that I would take the "opportunity" to, since I thought that I had it allowed according to my diet plan. I had an Atkins peanut butter cup thing. It was good going down, but at 8:30, I still feel sick. The thing is like 80% fat. 30% of daily recommended saturated fat in 1.2 ounces of candy. Gross. I bought a whole bunch of them though.

breakfast: 2 dairy, 2 fruit(yogurt, 4 prunes, apple, cheese)

2 dairy, 4 fruit,3 vegie, 3 starch, 2.5 protein, "LA bar,"plenty of fat and water

I had a massage today and thought of Queen Ester and her beauty treatments. Were those treatments really for her to look better or for her to carry herself better and feel better about being a woman which projects out? I scheduled a follow-up for two weeks and hope by next week at this time that I will have some short fiberglass nails put upon me.
